Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

At this time, Prime Minister Lin's daughter sat down with His Majesty, which to a certain extent explained what His Majesty wanted to do today.

Everyone just looked at the high-spirited young emperor, who was led to the table by the hand of a stunningly beautiful girl amid cheers of "Long live the emperor". The two of them sat together in the main seat.

"I invited Lord Lin and all the clan members here today to discuss the marriage between Miss Lin and me. Miss Lin and I have been betrothed by our father since we were young. Originally, my father wanted to get married in April next year, but he was thinking that since I had just ascended the throne, I should practice frugality. He dreamed of holding the marriage registration ceremony and the queen-enthroning ceremony at the same time. What do you think?" Chu Ji started by directly entering today's topic.

The royal family members were relatively obedient after being punished during Emperor Xuan's reign, but that did not mean they submitted to the new emperor, especially since almost all of the royal family members present were Chu Ji's elders.

Someone immediately objected, because the white-haired old man stood up and said, "I think this is not right. How can we do this during a period of national mourning? Since ancient times, the world has been governed by filial piety. Your Majesty, please do not let lust cloud your mind."

Chu Ji also guessed that some people would object. After all, there would always be fools who would take advantage of their seniority and try to control the new emperor.

However, because Emperor Xuan's ascension to the throne was not orthodox, almost all the relatives who were closely related to the royal family had been killed, and only now did it come to the turn of these distant relatives within the five degrees of mourning.

The person who said this was the youngest son of Emperor Xuan's grandfather's grandfather. He is now considered the person with the highest seniority in the royal family. However, Emperor Xuan's grandfather ascended the throne as the crown prince, and he was the eldest and most capable son. That's why the empress dowager, who was powerful at the time and almost ruled the country from behind the scenes, did not make her youngest son, the person who just spoke, the heir.

I think the old prince should be feeling regretful. After all, he had experienced the gap between being able to catch up with the supreme throne, so he made things difficult for Chu Ji when Chu Ji seemed to be immature.

Yuebai naturally thought of this and looked at Chu Ji with some worry. Chu Ji naturally noticed Yuebai's gaze and felt warm in his heart.

Under the large table, the two men held hands folded and clasped. Chu Ji squeezed Yue Bai's hand to comfort her. He was no longer the naive little prince.

Prime Minister Lin felt helpless when he saw this scene. This scene was so familiar. When Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, this old prince had the same experience. Even those women who died innocently in Emperor Xuan's harem were allowed to enter the palace as concubines because of this man's constant advice. How could someone be so capable?

Seeing that no one spoke, the old prince thought Chu Ji was easy to manipulate and spoke again: "Moreover, when the late emperor passed away, Your Majesty, as a son, actually exempted the concubines from being buried alive with him. If the late emperor knew about this, I wonder how heartbroken he would be."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence, and even the singers and dancers knelt down.

Chu Ji waved his hand and asked everyone to leave without making things difficult for these palace servants.

"Then what do you think I should do?" Chu Ji asked with a smile, as if he was really seeking the advice of this old uncle. However, Yue Bai, who was beside him, clearly saw that his smile did not reach his eyes, and there was even a hint of murderous intent.

Originally, everyone in the hall knelt down one after another. The old prince felt that he had spoken too much and began to feel uneasy. When he heard Chu Ji asking for his opinion, he felt that the little emperor was easy to bully.

The old prince straightened his body, which was a little hunched due to old age, and said, "Your Majesty only needs to issue an order immediately to bury all the concubines of the late emperor with him. No weddings are allowed during the period of national mourning. This can be regarded as your Majesty's filial piety to the late emperor."

"Oh? It seems that you want to be my master?" Chu Ji turned the wine glass in his hand and was about to sit on the dragon throne lazily.

At this time, the old prince finally became a little scared: "I dare not!"

"Ha!" Prime Minister Lin laughed sarcastically, "Don't dare? Your Majesty's wishful thinking is about to fall on my face. Now that Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, you are so wantonly smearing Your Majesty's reputation and accusing Your Majesty of being unfilial."

"Minister Lin, you are slandering me! You want His Majesty to get married as soon as possible, just for your position as the national scepter. Everyone knows that His Majesty is engaged to your daughter?" Although the old prince was afraid of Chu Ji, he was not afraid of Minister Lin. He felt that as a royal relative, he was different from the ministers.

"Your Majesty is free to decide all the rights and wrongs. I am just a subject and I will definitely not make the decision for Your Majesty."

The old prince blushed at Lin Xiang's sarcastic words.

"Lord Lin, you are indeed my most trusted minister. I will need your advice in the future. Lord Lin, please take a seat."

Immediately, a palace servant came to help Lord Lin, who had stood up in excitement, back to his seat.

But no one paid any attention to the old prince who was still kneeling on the other side, which showed how close they were to each other.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Chu Ji sighed and said, "I am not in a hurry to get married, but throughout history, people always get married first and then start a career. Before my father died, he left me an oral instruction, asking me to marry Miss Lin as soon as possible."

After saying this, he looked at the old prince who was kneeling on the ground with a half-smile, and continued, "As for what you just said about the late emperor's concubines being buried alive with him, the late emperor also left an imperial decree that the concubines in the harem who were not favored could return to their families and marry, and the concubines who were favored and childless could live in the palace in their old age."

Then, someone said with a half-smile: "When the late emperor's coffin was lying in state, I always had dreams. I dreamed that the late emperor told me that he had met the founding emperor Jin, and that the emperor missed his youngest son..."

There was a pause here, everyone knew that the youngest son was the old prince.

The old prince suddenly looked up, and seeing the emperor sitting high above with a cold gaze full of warning and murderous intent, he lowered his head again, secretly regretting that he had known not to accept the money for his advice.

In fact, none of the concubines in the palace had ever been favored, so naturally they all went home. All of these concubines were women selected by aristocratic families when Emperor Xuan ascended the throne. They were all carefully trained by the big families and wanted to enter the palace to seek wealth and glory.

It’s a pity that Emperor Xuan did not favor the concubines in his harem. Sending them back home now can be regarded as giving face to the aristocratic families. After all, there are many daughters of family heads among them.

The old prince felt truly scared at this moment. If his recent words were to spread, it would appear that the Immortal Emperor was magnanimous and treated everyone equally, while he was forcing others to be buried alive, and among them were women from aristocratic families. If the aristocratic families knew about this, they would definitely be hostile to him.

The old prince raised his head and glanced at Chu Ji who was sitting high in the main seat. This young emperor was so young but he was able to win people's hearts. It really showed that one cannot judge a person by his appearance.

After what happened today, as long as someone finds out, the power of the aristocratic families will move closer to the new emperor, and Chu Ji will be supported by the aristocratic families if he wants to rule the country after the wedding. After all, the new emperor is not even twenty years old.

Perhaps Emperor Xuan's oral order for an early marriage was to let Prime Minister Lin assist the new emperor. After all, Prime Minister Lin only has one daughter now. The aristocratic families will support Chu Ji because of his actions today, because at present, the new emperor is the most friendly person in the royal family towards the aristocratic families. Why should they oppose it?
